Question

For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It’s not always the1ring, but it’s always a ring that has2on it so that when I look at it, I’m 3or reminded of something important. I have made a 4of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as 5to someone like Jennie.
I first met Jennie in the 6 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and 7how her son was doing because I knew that he was in very8 condition. She told me that she didn’t know what to do any more because it seemed none of the 9from the doctors was good. They weren’t at all sure her son was going to 10the accident that had hurt him so badly. With11“They’re 12my hope.”
I knew then that it was13just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day. As she 14to talk, I 15slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie’s hand. I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her16all of this. 17Jennie looked down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly,18the word written on the ring was “HOPE”.
The last day I was at the hospital, I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift. She 19and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying, “Look, I 20have Hope!”

小小的礼物也许能给人带来无穷的希望——看似不起眼的一枚戒指竟然让一位对儿子的病情感到绝望的母亲又重新找回了希望。
1.根据I have been wearing a ring on my right hand和but it’s always a ring可知，作者总是戴一枚戒指，但不是同一枚。答案：C
2.根据倒数第二段的最后一句可知，戒指上刻着字。答案：A
3.每当我看到它，我都受到鼓舞，或者想到一些重要的事情。答案：B
4.make a habit of“形成……习惯”。我已经形成了一种习惯，无论什么时候在商店里看到这种戒指，我都要买下来。答案：D
5.根据第二、三段的故事可知，作者把戒指作为礼物送给了Jennie，从而使她重新充满希望。故A项正确。答案：A
6.根据下文信息可知，Jennie的儿子出事故了，所以自然是在医院的候诊室里遇到她的，故C项正确。最后一段首句中的The last day I was at the hospital也是答案提示。答案：C
7.作者知道Jennie的儿子出事故了，自然向她询问病情。答案：A
8.由该段倒数第二句可知Jennie的儿子在事故中受伤严重，故用serious，in serious condition表示“病情严重”。答案：C
9.她告诉我她不知道该怎么做了，因为好像从医生那里得到的没有一个好消息。故B项正确。
10.考查动词：医生们不能确定她的儿子是否能从这次事故中幸存下来。defeat“打败”，experience“经历”，predict“预言”，survive“幸存，幸免于难”，故survive符合语境。答案：D 11.根据常识可知母亲很悲伤，自然眼里噙满泪水。答案：B
12.考查词组：他们夺走了我的希望。take away“拿走，夺走”，符合语境，故D项正确。keep up“使不低落，继续”，bring down“击败，降低”，cut off“切断，中断”，均不符合语境。答案：D
13.考查词组：那时我知道这不仅仅是我那天戴着那枚戒指的巧合。more than表示“不只是，不仅仅”，符合语境。other than“除了……”，rather than“而不是”，less than“少于”。答案：C
14.考查动词：从上文可知Jennie在说儿子的病情，所以当她继续说的时候，我摘下了戒指。故A项正确。答案：A
15.考查副词：我默默地摘下戒指并放到她的手里。quietly“悄悄地，静静地”，符合语境。cautiously“小心地”；nervously“紧张地”；shyly“害羞地”。答案：B
16.考查介词：我告诉她带上这枚戒指，记住上帝是爱她的并将一直和她在一起。through“从头到尾，自始至终”。答案：C
17.考查连词：当她低头看这枚戒指的时候，她很激动并紧紧地攥着它。while后面多接延续性动词；when后面的动词可以是短暂性的也可以是延续性的。答案：D
18.考查连词：因为戒指上写着“希望”这个词。for为连词，表示“因为”。答案：A
19.考查动词：她举起那只带着那枚戒指的手向我招手。根据语境可知B项正确。答案：B
20.考查副词：看！我仍然拥有希望。由语境可知C项正确。答案：C
